These opinions have been adopted in the firm belief that they are m accordance with the spirit that actuated the venerated fathers of the Republic, and that succeeding experience has proved them to be humane, patriotic, ex pedient, honorable and iust. If the agitation of this subject was intended to reach the stability of our institutions, enough has occur red to show that it has signally failed; and that in this, as in every other instance, the apprehensions of the timid and the hopes of the wicked for the destruction of our Government, are again destined to be disappointed.

Those opinions I shall endeavor if carry out with ny utmost ability. Our course of foreign polity has been so uniform and intelligi b!e, as to constitute a rule of exe cutive conduct which leaves little to my discretion, unless, indeed, I were willing to run counter to the lights of experience, and the known opinions of my constitu ents. We sedulously cultivate the friendship of all nations, as the condition most compatible with our welfare, and the prmci pies of our Government. We de cline alliances, as adverse to our peace. We desire commercial re lations on equal terms, being ever willing to give a fair equivalent tor advantages received. We en deavor to conduct our intercourse with openness and sincerity; promptly avowing our objects, and seeking to establish that mu tual frankness which is as benefi cial in the dealings of nations as of men.
